I'm not sure if the average joe who buys a $600 pre-built from wallymart is going to be willing to shell out the cash required for a mac. More than likely they're going to decide that the browser on their Xbox / media device is all that they use so why even bother with a desktop PC that doesn't do what they need anywise.

Seriously, how many average home users actually use their printer? If you're not printing, and the only games you play are java / facebook then what do you need a desktop PC for? Bringing home a win8 desktop with its non-intuitive interface will drive that point home.

They can get a Mac Mini for $599... my bet is Apple will sell a fair number of these at that price for the average joe user.
